| Hurricane activity has become more prevalent in recent years, which is why it’s important to help your customers prepare with impact resistant fenestration systems. Our new StormWall XL Curtain Wall is NFRC rated, has Florida Product Approval, and is fully tested to ASTM and TAS standards. The system is thermally improved using a continuous thermal spacer that’s interlocked within the horizontal and vertical pressure bars. This produces U-factors as low as 0.38. StormWall XL features shear block assembly with no exposed fasteners for improved aesthetics and installation flexibility. | |
